Danny Speicher Poems

I never knew how life could be
Living, giving love so freely
‘Till there was you, touching my life
Now I know just how life can be
...

I've seen you in my dreams, familiar one
Your face just beyond what my eyes can see
Each time I see you, my heart comes undone
Wanting so bad for you to be with me
...

I don't suppose I noticed it in the dim light of the moon
Or the way your hand held mine all night long
I don't suppose I realized just what I felt inside
I may not have felt it then, but, I felt it soon
...

The sun shone for a time on hope so pure
As the rays danced upon those daydreams clear
All was right, with not a cloud in the sky
Together we basked in that day so dear
...

Somewhere under the surface there is more
More than meets the eye of this daily grind
More than what average man's eye may see
Is meaning beneath the meaning to find
...

God, I come to you broken, sore
Peace, I desire, nothing more
But, if chaos I cannot flee
Oh, Lord please have mercy on me
...

In the midst of my darkness and despair
I cried to the Lord, begging and pleading
'Lord, take note of what this heart is needing'
My heart cried out to Him and He was there
...

Far, far in the back of the viney patch
Lies a pumpkin without a stem
And, on that pumpkin was a little hatch
For no one knew it but him
...

I grasp at air to find the words to say
I plunder my heart to find emotion
To aptly describe my life's devotion
To a God who makes complete each new day
...

“The harvest is plenty, workers are few”
And He said, “Come and follow me”
...
